As for me:

Last Week's Goals:

FIRE AND EARTH (formerly known as SEVEN STARS): I was lucky enough to nab a mentor for this in Pitch Wars. Nothing yet. I wasn't really expecting it.

BLOOD WILL TELL: Work on general marketing topics. Um, yeah. I at least attended a novel marketing webinar. That counts.

BLOOD IS THICKER: Let it cool a bit before going back for the next round. Easy one.

THE BARD'S GIFT: One minor adjustment and then wait for reader feedback.Unless I think of something else, it's ready to go.
